Co-enzyme
Q10
Co-enzyme
Q10 has two important roles: it is an essential part
of the cellular respiration system located in the mitochondria,
and it is an antioxidant. CoQ10 improves both the rate
and efficiency of energy production in the cells, including
the skin and at the same time protects mitochondria
from free radicals. CoQ10 is sometimes called a "biomarker
of aging" because its level correlates so well with
aging.
In
most people over thirty, levels of CoQ10 in the skin
is below optimum, resulting in a lesser ability to produce
collagen, elastin and other important skin molecules.
CoQ10-depleted skin may also be more prone to the damage
by free radicals, which are particularly abundant with
exposure of the skin to the elements. Thus, CoQ10 may
boost skin repair and regeneration. Furthermore, CoQ10
is a small molecule that can relatively easily penetrate
into skin cells.
